Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SlovakiaThe room was quite noisy, we could not sleep well (it was oriented into the outside parking lot, plus the fridge was making big noise). Breakfast seemed to look good at first sight but the products were not of a high quality. A bit pricey compared to other places in South Africa, I assume you pay for the beach location.
Nice beach location, nice building, very clean, nice staff.

United KingdomWe were kept awake on the Saturday of our stay due to a wedding at an adjacent hotel. I would have given this 10 out of 10 apart from the noise. Not much that Milkwood could have done about it, but our arrival in paradise turned into Ibiza, which was dissapointing.
Milkwood Manor was excellent. The setting is beautiful and the staff all so friendly.

NetherlandsThe problem lies within the dual management: 1 for the hotel, 1 for the restaurant. Which means that you pay seperately for the restaurant and need to bring your wallet for every drink you order there. Another problem is the German owner on the restaurant side, who has not a single hospitality bone in his body and has the charm of a constipated lizard. If he refrained from showing himself every day, the place is absolutely stunning and worth a stay.

United KingdomWe stayed in an older room this time as we booked very late and it appeared a little tired😏 The bathroom was very clean but old and needs a bit of modernising and power shower. No pool.
Breakfast was the best we have had on our trip….hot food and beautiful fruit served at the table so not sitting around going stale somewhere in the restaurant! Location is the best! Beautiful beach to walk or run. Staff at MWM were absolutely fantastic….nothing was too much trouble and always with a smile and not a scowl. The restaurant at MWM (Lemon Grass) was great for atmosphere, views and delicious food.
